Episode notes
Jesus As God's Final Revelation
- Hebrews presents Jesus as God's final and fullest revelation, supplanting prior prophetic messages.
- The Son is described as heir and agent of creation, echoing Johannine and Pauline Christology.
No Classical Introduction
- The letter to the Hebrews jumps straight into theology without an introduction, which the host finds odd.
- Early tradition suggests it may have been written in Hebrew and later translated into Greek.
Full Radiance Of God's Glory
- The Son is the full radiance and exact representation of God's being, not a mere reflection like Moses experienced.
- He sustains all things by powerful word, aligning Hebrews with Colossians' theology of Christ's preeminence.
